[English]

I'm so fed up with everyone around me

No one seems to care

I'm just so far gone and nothing's gonna change

I'll never be the same

It's always do this, do that

Everything they want to

I don't wanna live that way (No!)

Every chance they get they're always

Pushing me away

It's never enough, no it's never enough

No matter what I say

It's never enough, no it's never enough

I'll never be what you want me to be

...

It's all so messed up and no one ever listens

Everyone's deranged

I'm just so fucked up and I'm never gonna change

I lay it all to waste

They're always say this say that

Nothing that you want to

I don't wanna live that way (No)

Every chance they get they're always

Shoving me aside

It's never enough, no it's never enough

No matter what I say

It's never enough, no it's never enough

I'll never be what you want me to be

I'm done!

...

In the end we're all just chalk lines on the concrete

Drawn only to be washed away

For the time that I've been given

I am what I am

I'd rather hate you for everything you are

Than ever love you for something you are not

I'd rather you hate me for everything I am

Than have you love me for something that I can't

It's never enough, it's never enough

No matter what I say

It's never enough, no it's never enough

No matter who I try to be

It's never enough, no, it's never enough

No matter how I try to change

It's never enough, never, never enough

I'll never be what you want me to be

...
